President Vladimir Zelensky responded to statements by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who threatened Ukraine with a "response" to suspending the transportation of Russian gas.

About this president wrote on its page in the social network X (Twitter).

"Putin seems to have instructed Fico to open a second energy front against Ukraine at the expense of the Slovak people. Only this could mean threats to Fico to block Ukraine's extraordinary supply of electricity in winter in the face of Russian strikes on our power plants and distribution network, – wrote Zelensky.

The President noted that the only reason for Ukraine's need to import electricity is the occupation of the Zaporizhia NPP by Russia and the constant massive blows to energy.

The president said Fico was trying to drag Slovakia into "Russia's efforts to hurt Ukrainians."

Zelensky also added that due to Fico's threats, Slovakia could lose up to $ 200 million a year paid by Ukraine for electricity exports.

"Slovakia's share in electricity imports to Ukraine is about 19%. The Government of Ukraine is working with our neighbors in the EU to maintain the required electricity supply. Slovakia is part of a single European energy market, and Fico must respect European rules

Any arbitrary decisions in Bratislava or orders from Moscow for Fico regarding electricity will not stop the import of electricity to Ukraine, but can certainly lead to the rupture of the current Slovak government with the European community, – the president added.

Today, I held a Staff meeting. There was a report from Commander Syrskyi on the situation at the front. The Donetsk directions remain the toughest, with updates from Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Kharkiv regions as well. There are details regarding the situation in the Kursk region: battles involving North Korean soldiers. They are suffering heavy losses, and it’s evident that the Russian military and their North Korean overseers have no interest in these soldiers’ survival. Everything is done in a way to prevent these North Koreans from being captured by us—their own side finishes them off; there are such facts. Moreover, Russians send them into assaults with minimal protection. Today, we received reports that several North Korean soldiers were taken prisoner by our forces. However, they were severely wounded, and it was not possible to save them. This is one of the manifestations of the madness dictatorships are capable of. The people of North Korea should not be losing their lives in battles in Europe. This can be influenced, among others, by North Korea’s neighbors, particularly China. If China is sincere in its statements that the war should not expend, it needs to exert the necessary influence on Pyongyang.
